I think your linked chat demonstrates quite well why you are wrong.

The sender's burden is a few lines of text "Write me $FOO, conclude with $BAR".

The recipients burden is an order of magnitude greater, trying to find your conclusion in hundreds of lines of text.

After all, your initial line:

> But isn't that "burden" on others always going to be there, whether you or AI wrote it? That's what communicating is...

Is concise and clearly understandable in 21 words . I understand your point even if I don't agree with it.

The linked chat has 1424 words. Your point is in there somewhere, but now you want the recipient to play "Where's Waldo" to find your point.

(BTW: I can't believe just how effectively you argued against your own point! I have never seen someone do it as effectively as this in all the time I have been reading HN)
